decided on my fall mix....

[Darron]

I had a bushel of rye left over which is 56lbs. I was going to do a rye plot but nobody around me has rye and shipping from welters would be more than the seed itself. I have some cabelas points and was shopping on there and decided to mix my bushel of rye with 22.5lb of biologics outfitters blend which is a mix of triticale, oats, wheat, and awp with a few brassicas in there (1pd).

I'll mix them together and have a rye, wheat, oats, triticale, awp and a few brassicas. The plot is .8 acres and I called a biologic rep and he told me mixing one bag of the Outfitters Blend with the rye would be fine. I'll have approx 78pds of a mix for almost an acre. It's a new plot on a new property I just bought. I broadcasted 500pds of pelletized lime last month to try and sweeten it up a little. I'm going to plant them next month, sometime around August 15-20th. The brassicas won't get much growth, which is fine.

What do ya think?

i think you're planting my favorite fall blend. I use to do a lot of mixing myself until a local seed company starting mixing a blend i really like. The blend you are planting will start attracting quick and stay green all winter!

When you plant broadcast about 150# of triple 13 fertilizer and then about a week before season starts and right before a rain broadcast about 50# of 34-0-0. The straight nitrogen will really sweeten up that plot!

Not a fan of the biologic stuff, but that sounds like it will make for a pretty nice blend. Have never planted winter peas here, planned on it this year, just too much other stuff going on.
